Ketch Ranch, Medicine Park, Comanche County, OK

Significance: Significant as the main house and only standing structure associated with the Ketch Ranch, a locally prominent ranch during the 1920s-1941 in Comanche County. It also is significant as an example of the Wichita Mountains building tradition applied to a rustic Craftsman bungalow working ranch residence/vacation home during the 1920s. The use of the Witchita Mountains cobblestone tradition for the working ranch and vacation home of Frank and Ada May Ketch is significant for the association that it lent its owners to the social elite who frequented the nearby popular resort community of Medicine Park and the Wichita Mountains and refuge, both popular vacation locations of the period.
